It takes a network to nourish Central Texas, and ours is 250 strong!

Our annual Helping Our Partners Excel (H.O.P.E.) Conference brought together our nonprofit community partners from the southern portion of our 21-county service area for a day of learning, collaboration, and connection.

Our partners are essential to our mission, working every day to meet neighbors where they are and connect them to nutritious food and resources that support overall well-being.

We're proud to learn, grow, and innovate together as we continue building healthier futures across Central Texas.

Next month, we'll continue the conversation with our partners in the nine northern counties we serve.

The Austin Chronicle just named us the Best Volunteer Experience for 2026! This makes four years in a row!

While we're honored by the recognition, we know what really makes this place so special: our volunteers.

They are the people who say, "The mission keeps me coming back."

They are the people who know that "to know that somebody whose life is going to be enriched because of what you've done is pretty empowering."

They are the people who show up because "you know your friends will be there."

And they are the neighbors who remind us that "we’re all here together to help each other."

Thank you to every volunteer who gives their time, energy, and heart to helping our community. This recognition belongs to you. 💚

Nothing says summer like time spent with friends, fun activities, and a good meal.

Today at Garrison Park, we celebrated the start of our Summer Meals Program with children, families, and community partners who help make this work possible.

When school is out, many families lose access to the meals children rely on during the school year. Austin Parks and Recreation Department is one of approximately 70 community organizations that children can continue to access for nutritious meals all summer long.

We're looking forward to serving more than 240,000 meals this summer and helping make tomorrow possible for children throughout Central Texas.

Our free summer meal distributions are now underway.

We help families throughout Central Texas gain access to nutritious meals while school is out so kids can focus on being kids.

Because summer is for play, adventure, and making memories. Not empty bellies.
